  Cause:
  This error occurs when you try to assign or use assortments that are incompatible with the specified assortment hierarchy or a particular node within that hierarchy. In SAP Assortment Planning (APC), assortments are structured in hierarchies, and each node in the hierarchy can only be assigned certain assortments based on predefined rules or configurations.
  Common causes include:

  Make sure the assortments are created and maintained properly in the system.
